TECHNICAL FIELD

The present disclosure relates to the technical field of personal care, and in particular relates to a care instrument.

BACKGROUND

With the development of products in the field of personal care, people pay more and more attention to face and body care, from the outside appearance to the internal health. Therefore, a variety of related massage instruments have appeared on the market, but most of these massage instruments have a single massage function that is irrelevant to skin care products. Since the materials used in these massage instruments are limited generally to either plastics or metal plating, there are certain limitations in the use of some skin care products due to their pH values. Therefore, these massage instruments do not really help people get into a natural, healthy, and scientific care habit. On this basis, it is necessary to develop personal care instruments with improved technologies and heathier materials to enhance their market competitiveness and help people achieve a truly healthy scientific way of skin care.

As shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, an embodiment of the present disclosure provides a care instrument, which includes a housing 10, a massage component 20 arranged inside the housing 10, a driving component 30, a control component 50 and a power supply device (not shown in FIGS. 1-2). The driving component 30 is in communication (e.g., liquid fluid communication or gas fluid communication) with a storage container 40 stored with a care product (e.g., an essential oil, a medicine, a topical ointment, a cream, a perfume, a massage oil, a cosmetic product). The housing 10 is provided with an accommodation chamber 11 therein, and the storage container 40 is arranged at least partially within the accommodation chamber 11. The massage component 20 is arranged above the driving component 30 and the storage container 40. One end of the housing 10 is provided with an outlet 12 in communication (e.g., fluid communication) with the storage container 40. The driving component 30 can transfer the care product from the storage container 40 and discharge the care product through the outlet 12. The power supply device is electrically connected with the massage component 20, the driving component 30 and the control component 50, respectively, to supply power to these components.

Through providing the massage component 20, the control component 50, and the power supply device, the care instrument can control the massage component 20 through the control component 50, thereby allowing a user to massage the face or the body of the user to achieve the massage function.

Further, the storage container 40 and the driving component 30 are provided, the storage container 40 can include a care product that may be used for providing care (e.g., to moisturize skin) or fragrance or aroma to the user, and the driving component 30 can transfer the care product from the storage container 40 and transport it to the outlet 12 at the surface of the housing 10, and discharge it to the environment through the outlet 12. In this way, the care instrument in this embodiment of the present disclosure enables the user to apply the care product while using the care instrument.

Further, through controlling the driving component 30 by the control component 50, the care instrument in the embodiment of the present disclosure can deliver the care product to the surface of the housing 10 in a timed and quantitative manner, so as to achieve accurate delivery of the care product. For example, the control component 50 may control the pumping speed of the driving component 30 by controlling the current and voltage of the driving component 30 via a pre-set program. In addition, when the massage component 20 is operated in synchronization with the driving component 30 that delivers the care product, the care product can be transported to the surface of the housing 10 during massage and can be further uniformly dispersed by the care instrument for easier application to the face or the body, thereby effectively improving the user experience. Specifically, in the present embodiment, the storage container 40 is arranged adjacent to the driving component 30, such that the distance between the storage container 40 and the driving component 30 may be reduced, thereby reducing the number and the length of conduits between the storage container 40 and the driving component 30, and further reducing the volume of the care instrument.

In some embodiments, the driving component 30 is an air compression device (e.g., diaphragm air pump), or an extrusion device capable of discharging the care product from the storage container 40. When the driving component 30 is an air compression device, the air compression device is in communication with the storage container 40, and the storage container 40 is in communication with the outlet 12. By providing the driving component 30 as an air compression device, the storage compartment 40 can be inflated and pressurized by the air compression device, and then the care product stored in the storage container 40 can be pushed out and transported to the outlet 12. Moreover, since air is supplied to the storage container 40 by the air compression device to compress the care product, the air pressure inside the storage container 40 is relatively balanced.

In some embodiments, the air compression device can be operated in reverse, so that the care product located in the conduits is returned from the conduits between the storage container 40 and the outlet 12 to the storage container 40, thereby saving the care product, preventing deterioration due to prolonged exposure to the conduits, maintaining consistent care product quality throughout usage, and further avoiding the mixing of different care products in the conduits.

In some embodiments, the storage container 40 can be fixedly arranged between the air compression device and the massage component 20, so that the conduit length between the storage container 40 and the outlet 12 may be effectively reduced, which in turn reduces the length of the conduits, reducing the volume of the care instrument. In addition, reducing the distance of the conduits between the storage container 40 and the outlet 12 can reduce the time that is required from activating the care instrument by the user to dispensing the care product from the outlet 12, which can effectively improve the user experience.

In some embodiments, the housing 10 has a bottom end and top end. The outlet 12 is near the top end. When the driving component 30 is an air compression device, massage component 20 is near the top end and the air compression device is near the bottom end of housing 10.

Further, as shown in FIG. 4, in some embodiments, the inner side of the outlet 12 is connected with a first conduit 13 in communication with the outlet 12. The care instrument can include a plurality of storage containers 40 and a plurality of corresponding driving components 30 with one-to-one correspondence, and the plurality of storage containers 40 are all in communication with the first conduit 13, such that a plurality of care products of different compositions can be simultaneously pumped out by the care instrument, which is convenient for the user to use.

Further, as shown in FIG. 4, in some embodiment, the first conduit 13 includes a main conduit 131 and a plurality of first branch conduits 132 in communication with the main conduit 131, and each of the first branch conduits 132 is in communication with each of the driving component 30 and storage containers 40, respectively. Though arranging the first conduit 13 to have the main conduit 131 and the first branch conduits 132, the main conduit 131 is in communication with the outlet 12, and each of the first branch conduits 132 is in communication with one of the storage containers 40, such that the care products in the plurality of storage containers 40 can flow from storage compartments containers 40 to the outlet 12 at the same time. In this way, there can be a plurality of care products flowing out from the outlet 12 and the multiple care products can be mixed together before use, which is convenient for the user.

In some embodiments, the housing 10 is provided with a plurality of outlets 12 thereon, and the main conduit 131 is connected with a plurality of second branch conduits (not shown) corresponding to outlets 12, and each of the second branch conduits is in communication with each of the outlets 12. In this manner, the care products can be uniformly and/or simultaneously delivered to the surface of the housing 10, and the care products transported to the surface of the housing 10 can be quantitatively mixed (e.g., in a certain ratio), so as to meet the user's demand for mixing the care products.

Further, in some embodiments, the control component 50 is electrically connected to each of the driving components 30, and is capable of respectively controlling the operation of each of the driving components 30. The control component 50 is arranged to independently control each of the driving components 30, such that the user can select desired care products to be used according to his/her own need and adjust the specific amount of each of the care products, which can effectively improve the user experience. For example, the control component 50 can instruct one driving component 30 to operate while instructing other driving components 30 to stop.

Further, as shown in FIG. 3, in the present embodiment, the driving component 30 is connected to the storage container 40 through an adapting piece 411, and the storage container 40 is detachably connected to the adapting piece 411. By arranging the storage container 40 and the adapting piece 411 to be detachably connected, the storage container 40 can be removed at any time, for example, to add a care product when the care product is used up, thereby making the care instrument be capable of long-term use, and effectively increasing the usage life of the care instrument.

Further, as shown in FIG. 2, in some embodiments, the housing 10 is further provided with a catching groove 15 in communication with the accommodation chamber 11. The catching groove 15 corresponds to the position of the storage container 40, and the storage container 40 can be attached to or removed from the catching groove 15. By providing the catching groove 15, the storage container 40 is partially exposed outside the housing 10, so that the storage container 40 may be removed when the care product needs to be added to the storage container 40.

Further, as shown in FIGS. 1 to 2, in some embodiments, one end of the accommodation chamber 11 is further provided with a temperature control component 70 for adjusting the temperature of one end of the housing 10, and the temperature control component 70 is electrically connected to the power supply device and the control component 50 respectively. By including the temperature control component 70, on the one hand, the temperature of the housing 10 of the care instrument can be adjusted according to user need when only the massage function of the care instrument is applied, so as to effectively improving the user experience; on the other hand, when the user simultaneously uses the massage function and the care function (e.g., by using a care product), the care product will be pumped out from the outlet 12 at the housing 10, such that the care product may be adjusted to a temperature suitable for use by the temperature control component 70, thereby improving the application of the care product.

Further, in some embodiments, the power supply device (not shown FIGS. 1 to 2) is a fixed power source arranged inside the accommodation chamber 11, or a conductive component able to be electrically connected with an external power source. When the power supply device is a fixed power source, it can be charged by using the external power source, so that the care instrument can be easily carried and used without an external power source. The care instrument can also be powered by using the external power source through a conductive component, so that there is no need to provide a fixed power source inside the accommodation chamber 11, thereby reducing the volume of the care instrument, miniaturizing the care instrument, reducing the weight of the care instrument, and facilitating the use by the user.

Further, as shown in FIG. 5, in some embodiments, the storage container 40 has a container body 41 and a container lid 43 detachably connected to the container body 41. The adapting piece 411 (not shown in FIG. 5) can be fixedly connected with the container lid 43. The container body 41 and the container lid 43 are enclosed to form the storage container 40. By providing the container body 41 and the container lid 43, and arranging the container body 41 to be detachably connected with the container lid 43, the container body 41 can be detached from the can lid 43, so that the care product can be added to the storage container 40, which enables long-term use.

Further, as shown in FIG. 5, in some embodiments, the container lid 43 is provided with a pipette 431, one end of the pipette 431 is in communication with the adapting piece 411, and the other end of the pipette 431 is provided with a gravity ball 432 in connection with the pipette 431. The care instrument can change position with the user's hand during use, for example, when tilting the storage container 40. When the amount of the care product in the storage container 40 is low, the pipette may not have access to the care product. By including the pipette 431 in communication with the outlet 12 and located inside the storage container 40, the care product is led to the first conduit 13 through the pipette 431. In some embodiments, the gravity ball 432 is arranged such that the gravity ball 432 is always located at the very bottom of the storage container 40 during use (e.g., when the care instrument is tilted), that is, the gravity ball 432 is kept in contact with the care product in during use, thereby ensuring the continuity of the liquid discharge.

Further, in some embodiments, the driving component 30 is a liquid pumping device (e.g., a peristaltic pump) that is in communication with the storage container 40 and the outlet 12, respectively. For example, the liquid pumping device can be located between the storage container 40 and the outlet 12, and the liquid pumping device can transfer the care product in the storage container 40, and then transports the care product to the outlet 12. The care product can then be discharged from the housing 10 through the outlet 12 to be applied to a user.

In some embodiments, the driving component 30 is a micro pump, a peristaltic pump, or other device that can pump the care product out to the driving component 30 which then transports the care product to the outlet 12. The specific category of the driving component 30 is not limited herein.

In some embodiments, the storage container 40 is arranged at the bottom of the accommodation chamber 11, the driving component 30 is arranged above the storage container 40, and the massage component 20 is arranged above the driving component 30. By doing so, the driving component 30 can be located between the storage container 40 and the massaging component 20. In this way, the distance of between the driving component 30 and the outlet 12 can be effectively reduced, which in turn reduces the length of the conduits, as well as the volume of the care instrument. In addition, reducing the length of the conduits between the driving component 30 and the fluid outlets 12 can reduce the time that is required from activating the care instrument by the user to pumping out the care product by the outlet 12, which can effectively improve the user experience.

In some embodiments, the first conduit 13, the first branch conduits 14 and/or the second branch conduits have an outer diameter of from at least 3 mm to at most 5 mm and an inner diameter of at least 0.5 mm to at most 2 mm. The first conduit 13, the first branch conduits 14 and the second branch conduits have a hardness of 30 A-50 A as measured by an ASTM D2240 Type A Shore durometer. In some embodiments, the first conduit 13, the first branch conduits 14 and the second branch conduits are made of FLURAN™ F-5500-A peristaltic pump tubing. The structure and make of the first conduit 13, the first branch conduits 14 and the second branch conduits prevents blockage or corruption of the conduits. Initial testing has shown that the first conduit 13 made of FLURAN™ F-5500-A peristaltic pump tubing does not show any signs of corruption after pumping various essential oils (lemon essential oil, lavender essential oil and clover essential oil) for 24 hours, 48 hours and 56 hours at room temperature.

In some embodiments, as shown in FIG. 6, the housing 10 can include a scraping structure 101 that is suitable for scraping on a user's skin or Gua Sha. Such a scraping structure 101 can have the shape of a triangular body or a pyramid-shaped body, and can increase the surface area that is in contact with the skin. The scraping structure 101 can be connected to the house by a fixed connection such as a threaded-locking connection or a bolted connection. Scraping or Gua Sha is a part of traditional Chinese medicine. Its practitioners use a tool to apply pressure and scrape a user's skin to relive pain and tension. This action causes light bruising, which often appears as purple or red spots known as petechiae or sha. The name gua sha—pronounced gwahshah—comes from the Chinese word for scraping. It may also be called skin scraping, spooning, or coining. It helps increase blood circulation and facilitate the application of the care product. Some physiotherapists use a version of the technique known as instrument assisted soft tissue mobilization (IASTM). Using a tool instead of the hands during a massage allows a physiotherapist to apply more pressure.

In some embodiments, the housing 10 can include a material selected from the group consisting of jade (e.g., green jade and white jade), quartz (e.g., rose quartz, amethyst, and green aventurine), tetrahertz ore, basalt, or a combination thereof. Without wishing to be bound by theory, it is believed that these materials boost circulation, tone the muscles, stimulate collagen production, and can help care products get absorbed faster. It is believed that many signs of aging can be relieved by jade rolling. For example, jade rollers can visibly uplift the cheekbones, tone the face and reduce puffiness and inflammation, one of the root causes of aging. It can also smooth fine lines, tighten sagging skin, and diminish dark under-eye circles. It is believed that jade contains a lot of trace elements, which can be absorbed and improve the immune function of the human body. It is believed that rose quartz can effectively relieve tension. It is believed that terahertz ore has good thermal conductivity. It is believed that basalt contains 26 kinds of trace elements that are beneficial for the human body, which can strengthen blood circulation, improve nervous system and hormonal system, enhance cell regeneration, and increase cell metabolism. It is believed that white jade contains trace elements, such as chromium, iron, calcium, etc., which can play a role in preventing and curing diseases. Such materials can also facilitate heat dissipation. In some embodiments, one or more of these materials (jade, quartz, tetrahertz ore, basalt, or a combination thereof) can be used to form the scraping structure 101 that is suitable for scraping or Gua Sha. Such a scraping structure 101 can have the shape of a triangular body or a pyramid shaped body, and can increase the surface area that is in contact with the skin.

In some embodiments, the housing 10 comprises hypoallergenic materials such as gold (e.g., 24k gold). The hypoallergenic materials can be applied to the housing via electroplating.

As shown in FIG. 6, in some embodiments, the housing 10 can further include a docking site 102 for wireless charging purposes. The docking site 102 can be made of a non-metal material (e.g., plastic, glass, or rubber) and corresponds to a position of a wireless charger (e.g., a wireless docking station) outside of the care instrument. When the housing 10 is fully covered by a metal plating (e.g., 24k gold plating), the metal plating reacts to magnetic fields and attenuates electrical fields, diminishing the efficiency of wireless charging. Thus, for efficient wireless charring, it is important to have a docking site 102 made of a non-metal material that corresponds to a position of a wireless charger. Through the docking site 102, a wireless charger can charge the care instrument without interference from the metal plating.
